What classes are in most demand on alliance side?

[dezzieace]

I was thinking of making a holy pally but I'm not sure if it will be hard for me to find a raid spot so I wanted to ask all of you which classes seem the most in demand so I can have an easier time deciding which class I want to level... thank you!

There are way too many allies, go horde or go home.

Either roll a tank on ally side or yea roll Horde cus too little hordes on the server.

There aren't very many tank slots in raid guilds. Rolling a class that is capable of tanking 5-mans (druid, warrior, paladin) is a fine idea to make gearing a bit easier at 60, but don't go into it thinking you are going to tank at endgame.

The typical answer I give to these sorts of questions though is to play what you will enjoy long-term. I'd much rather have a happy raider who likes playing their class than someone who will get frustrated and burn out because they rolled something to fill some perceived demand. The reality is on 40 man raids there is enough class depth for basically everything other than prot tanks that you should just play what you enjoy.

TBH even prot can be on the table, you should just know it requires farming an insane amount of gold for BOEs and resist gear (and not to scare you but it's probably north of 4,000-5,000 gold to have perfect gear as a prot warrior).

From what I can tell, the alliance needs tanks for dungeons, but not hardly for raiding. Hunters are in oversupply, druids/locks are in short supply. Do not go tank on a paladin or druid because the gear out right now makes warriors the the best by far. It'll even out a little more later on, and there will be better gear to makeup where paladins/druids lack.

For horde, you can go with anything. I just wish there was enough for 24/7 bgs, but a lot of people are waiting for AV to start.

Definetly need more druids kek.
And tanks.

[MrDiap]

Just don't delude yourself. Tanks are needed for anything but end game. After that they are almost useless.

[Droom91]

they are not useless.
many guilds still lack tanks, good tanks !
good tanks always in shortage.
idk what u talking about kek

[dngrs]

[Goeth]

Too many? - Yea

Roll a real healer.
